Building Quality into Product Development

Proactive Strategies for Excellence

Course Overview:

Quality can’t be inspected in—it must be designed into the product from the start. This course focuses on embedding quality principles early in the development process to reduce defects, improve reliability, and minimize costly late-stage changes. Participants will learn how to integrate structured quality tools and risk management techniques to ensure a smoother transition from concept to production.

Key Topics Covered:

  • Proactive Quality Planning: Embedding DFMEA, PFMEA, and robust design principles early in development to identify and mitigate risks before they impact the customer.

  • Preventing Defects at the Source: Integrating voice of the customer, warranty data, and field feedback into early design and development to close feedback loops and prevent issue recurrence.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Aligning engineering, manufacturing, quality, and suppliers on shared quality goals and expectations from the outset.

  • Structured Problem Solving: Applying tools like 8D, A3 thinking, and root cause analysis—supported by strong knowledge capture—to ensure lasting corrective actions and continuous improvement.
